Nelson and Irving have been friends for a while. Lest we forget, they were co-stars in Honeysuckle Rose. And after all these years, they're still working together.

Irving shared the news on her Instagram. We can expect the album to drop on April 25. If you're especially eagre, however, don't worry, as one of the tracks have dropped already.

"Always Will Be" includes a voicemail from Willie Nelson. He says, "Hey, just checking in, hope you're doing okay. I'm in the city now and gonna be here a few days, so maybe we can touch base at some point. Love you much, bye."
